Lipid nanoparticle-messenger RNA (LNP-mRNA) drug products are a growing class of drug modalities. The unique composition of these drug products requires multiple measurements to account for the different components of these drug modalities. Pharmacokinetic (PK) measurements include measurement of the encapsulated mRNA and components of the LNP in circulation to understand the effectiveness of the therapeutic mRNA. The PK measu...

Introduction Enhanced creativity is often cited as an effect of microdosing (taking repeated low doses of a psychedelic drug). There have been recent efforts to validate the reported effects of microdosing, however creativity remains a difficult construct to quantify. Objectives The current study aimed to assess microdosing’s effects on creativity using a multimodal battery of tests as part of a randomised controlled trial of...

An evidence-based approach to the conservation management of a species requires knowledge of that species’ status, distribution, ecology, and threats. Coupled with budgets for specific conservation strategies, this knowledge allows prioritisation of funding toward activities that maximise benefit for the species. However, many threatened species are poorly known, and determining which conservation strategies will achieve this...

In areas where commercial fishing is prohibited, demographic metrics obtained from recreational fisheries and fishery‐independent methods can be integral to population ecology and management. For Australian bass Percalates novemaculeata (Steindachner) and Murray cod Maccullochella peelii peelii (Mitchell), two key finfish species native to the recreational‐only fresh waters of New South Wales (NSW), Australia, recreational fis...

Antarctic and Southern Ocean ( ASO ) marine ecosystems have been changing for at least the last 30 years, including in response to increasing ocean temperatures and changes in the extent and seasonality of sea ice; the magnitude and direction of these changes differ between regions around Antarctica that could see populations of the same species changing differently in different regions. This article reviews current and expect...

Aim The laying of eggs and the building of a nest structure to accommodate them are two of the defining characteristics of members of the class Aves. Nest structures vary considerably across avian taxa and for many species the structure of the completed nest can have important consequences both for parents and their offspring. While nest characteristics are expected to vary adaptively in response to environmental conditions, l...
